RCN AUDIO PODCAST EP1

Culinary excellence in a temporary city in the dry desert? Oh yes, and some decadent offerings too. Andie and Vav rebroadcast a delicious episode about culinary camps at Black Rock City from the podcast “Food Wine & the Culinary Mind.” It’s a montage of interviews from theme camps that gift the perfect food at the perfect time and place. The perspectives on creativity, community and cuisine bring us back to what it’s like to be together in the dust. Mat Schuster interviews “fascinating culinary badasses” at the most recent Black Rock City, and it’s about more than just food; featuring Black Rock Bakery, Bao Chicka Wow Wow, Feed the Artists, Awful’s Gas & Snack, Midnight Poutine, Dust City Diner, Lovin’ Oven, and Abstininthe.Food Wine & the Culinary Mind: Culinary Camps of Burning ManLIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

Matt went to see Sleigh Bells yesterday and it restored his enjoyment of music, for one night, at least. Nathan continues to plot ways to delight and surprise the citizens of his town. Matt suggests to Nate that Nathan Fielder and his new show, "The Rehearsal", might be a worthy muse.

Revenge of the Nerds II begins with the nerds who formed Lambda Lambda Lambda at Adams College, leaders from an inclusive fraternity that overcame prejudice to become heroes, as witnessed in the first film. Now they must take their mission national at the United Fraternity Conference in Fort Lauderdale. There, they hope to increase the bonds of brotherhood, set new and less discriminatory guidelines, and to get laid. Once in Florida, however, they find that the Alpha Betas have once again taken their rooms. No other hotels in town will take "nerds" except for the dumpiest. Try as the nerds might to bring unity to all fraternal brothers, the Alpha Betas determine to shut them out through conniving acts that result in shutting out the Tri-Lambs for good. It's up to the nerds to get revenge yet again. Directed by Joe Roth.

On this episode, Roy Yekel is still at the kitchen table, I can't get the guy to leave. This time we're chatting about bald people paying for haircuts, with a side of college football, topped off with a sprinkle of "See Rock City" barns that decorated our childhood roadtrips.
